Probabilistic deep learning model as a tool for supporting the fast simulation of a thermal–hydraulic code

作者:

Highlights:

• Reducing uncertainty in probabilistic safety assessment strengthens nuclear safety.

• For massive simulations to reduce uncertainty, a fast-running model is necessary.

• A deep learning-based surrogate model of thermal–hydraulic (TH) code is proposed.

• The proposed eQRNN estimates the results of TH code with their uncertain boundary.

• Fast and probabilistic estimation of TH code results can improve nuclear safety.
